This site sells gorgeous scales (handle sides) that modify the stock scales that come with the Spyderco knives. [In looking at the pricing here](http://www.cuscadi.de/custom_scale_division_onlineshop/knives/spyderco/) at these 100+ euro prices are they selling the knife and the scales as a unit at those prices or just the side scales for the listed prices? Warning this is pure knife porn. Any help appreciated. ---

The ones you linked include the knife. The listings for their Spyderco scales without knifes clearly say so. [http://www.cuscadi.de/custom\_scale\_division\_onlineshop/scales/spyderco/](http://www.cuscadi.de/custom_scale_division_onlineshop/scales/spyderco/) “Sie erhalten die gezeigten Griffschalen **ohne** das **Messer**.” / “You will receive the scales shown **without** the **knife**.” Unfortunately the warning is not entirely consistent for all the other brands, but as far as I can tell all the listings under “KNIFE+SCALES” include the knife and those under “CUSTOM SCALES” do not - which would make sense. ---

There’s a link for English in the upper right of the page you linked. However it goes to a FAQ page rather than the scales page. One of the FAQ was “do you sell complete knives”, so I’m guessing that the prices shown are for scales only. I’m certain that they can handle email in english.
